Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for June 09, 2015

Calvin, you will need a broken limb to get your Mother to put down that book.

Really? What if he fell down the stairs? Oh wait…

What would Spaceman Spiff do?

I got a plush Hobbes for my 24th birthday yesterday. My brother got it for me off eBay. I asked him to get it for me.

That only works when you’re two, Calvin…

Rub some dirt on it. Oh, right, this is Calvin: Rub some MORE dirt on it!

I cut my thumb to the bone, thought Dad would take me for stitches but as he had other things going on it didn’t happen. Gave me his handkerchief, said wrap it up and move on. Life as a military brat!

We had lots of injuries in our house – both growing up and raising my own kids. Generally, when we heard big thuds or screams, the first question out of our mouths was, “Any blood?”

Poor baby.

Say you have the disease of the week. That gets attention.

By running a Google image search for “plush hobbes” you will find that there is a very large variety of homemade versions out there – mostly ones that people have made for themselves. There are no legitimate Calvins or Hobbeses for sale.Click here: Google image search for plush hobbes

Calvin: “Mammy, Mammy, me got gweat big owwy boo-boo on me knee!”“Go wash it in soap and water, put a Band-Aid on it, and stop being silly.”C: “And yet another attempt at sympathy goes ‘Phllllllppp!’”

My Hobbes is not bootlegged. It is a fan creation. The tag that came with it did not mention Hobbes at all. It might have been an issue if it had, the tiger looks like Hobbes. I guess they were able to get away with it by calling it a tiger. The picture is here.

“OUCHYWAWA”

Haven’t heard that in years! I will now be working it into my vocabulary.

If Watterson is so adamant about trademark infringements, and I have zero argument with this policy, how does the comic strip containing “Hobbes and Bacon” get away with it?

The next time I nick myself shaving, I’m gonna ask my wife if she would kiss my “OUCHYWAWA” and make it better…

You think she is reading 50 shades?

It’s all a matter of perspective. When I had my knee surgery I looked at the staples and thought, “Yech, that looks ugly.” My wife (a nurse) came by a couple of minutes later and looked at them and said, “Hey, those are looking good.” I guess nurses are used to looking a yechy things.

Children~ the result of unskilled labor. Perhaps Calvin has Hobbs because his parents are incapable of acting like parents.

The most natural thing for any 6 year old boy to get is a boo-boo.

I’ve had my fair share. I still get them because I’m such a careless person.

I am going to be known as Hobbes the Tiger from now on. There are two Hobbeses here now. :D

@GretchensMom: Good to see you visiting. That comic strip reminds me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz after the flying monkeys attacked the Scarecrow. Looks like Hobbes will need some joint replacements.

Hobbes, isn’t it weird how there are two of us on here now? I guess you could say I came from Calvin’s duplicator machine. LOL.

Someone wished “Happy Birthday” to Hobbes today; however, there is another cartoon birthday to celebrate:

It’s Donald Duck’s birthday today! He’s 81 years young on June 9, 2015…

Suck it up and quit whining, Calvin. It’s a long ways from your heart. I broke my arm as a kid and didn’t know it until a doctor asked me about 30 years later.

“You mean thank the Dad!”

Well yes, I wholeheartedly give him the credit for saving his life :)

Ay! Chihuahua!

Why no new ones. Bill PLEASE continue with your work :(

Thank the Dad and God, who gave him good and right ideas!!

I had to be covered in blood and missing body parts before my mother took any notice.

I have always liked Calvin and Hobbes since I first got it!

Just why was he talking like that in the first place.

Also- which one is his pinky? Look at his hand. He only has three fingers!
